I have booked 7 days in devon for the easter holidays,im looking for things to do,now i have looked into woodlands theme park and also crealys theme park,and splashworld quaywest,anyone know any other places? or nice places to eat,or have you been to these places and reccomend them?

The Plymouth Aquarium is incredible and also has an indoor play labyrinth (small one) and some other activity areas so it's not just walking around staring at tanks!

Have yours ever been letterboxing?
You crawl around the rocks of the moor looking for plastic lunchboxes hidden in holes - sign the book, use the rubber stamp there in your own book (you need a book or blank postcards etc. and an inkpad plus a pen with you ....) There are advanced ways of doing it - books of clues, map grid references etc. but for children you can just park up at a famous set of rocks with good parking and you can guarantee to find 5 to 10 boxes ... Bonehill Rocks, Hay Tor, etc.

There's a Steam Railway quite near to Ashburton ...

The River Dart Country Park looks good to me.

There is a Shopping Village type place called Trago Mills that has a manic but very cheap inside shop - warehouse type and size but well laid out - and lots and lots of small independant shops and stalls around the courtyards which are also filled with children's activity type attractions ... There's a little train to ride on, remote control cars, dodgems I think? Mine have been too young to do much other than stare so far but I think there is plenty there for a day out. (We tend to dash in to be something cheaply and therefore bypass all the attraction type stuff but they do look quite good of their type!)

Exeter is a great town to visit, it has underground passages below the city with guided tours. Definitely recommend Dartmoor, the walks around Datmouth, Salcombe and south Devon are fantastic, all depends on where you are staying, but Devon is fab that's why we live here!!! Take it slow.

While Easter is usually all about chocolate, there are ways to keep things a little lighter! This Easter, Sun-Maid want to give two winners the chance to experience a bundle of Californian fun with a selection of Sun-Maid goodies worth £60 each.
